Realm Works 1.0.30, 1.0.31, and 1.0.32 Now Available – With Custom Views

You can create up to 7 custom views for topics in the World Almanac, and up to 7 custom views for articles in the Mechanics Reference. However, you may show at most 3 custom views of each type directly on the ribbon. The rest are available from their respective custom view dropdown menu.

Yeah I want more!!!!! MORE!!! :D

I only will actually use views for the world almanac. The fact you can create them for each is cool BTW just not useful for me in particular. What would even be better is if you could just lump that into "x" number of custom views can be shown at once, in any combination. So instead of restricting me to 3 for world Almanac you restrict me to 9 custom views of my choosing from any of them.

However its not a huge dealio, I will just remove the views as they are played through, so "Chapter 0 view" will be removed when they play into Chapter II and I will add "Chapter III view" to the ribbon, rinse and repeat.

This is a much better change then I gave it credit for.

Just out of curiosity:

Why is it limited to seven views?

Could it be made to be limited only by memory or some such thing?

It is a great feature, no doubt about it. I can just imagine myself making dozens of views - and having a good thing you want even more of it :-)

To my knowledge it's not a technical limit, it's a practical limit. We're open to the idea of allowing more views in the future, but we'll probably also want a few other features for managing them and their content better before we do.

Having unlimited views in their current state would give people an awful lot of rope to hang themselves with. While having 100 custom views sounds great, just imagine the hassle you'd need to go through to get your views updated for adding just a few new pieces of content.

There are a number of other factors to consider as well which I won't dive into, but this is one of the main concerns.

AAAH man didn't know you cared.

I am a pretty big guy, this would need to be some damn good silk rope.

I agree. I have so few articles that I don't need a view for them, but being able to use those spaces for topic view would be nice. And the rope length will be perfect...for now. :D

I'm using both and added views for articles and gameplay
 
The plus to more views is we could break up multiple storylines more easily in a sandbox world and have everything ready to go to match the player's whims. THAT would feel organized!

The plus to more views is we wouldn't have to get rid of game history. We could have episodes and be able to refer back to periods in the game easily which would be another way to search for "that blonde guy when we were in Arsenium, you know, THAT guy".

The minus is some of us could have a tendency to become hoarders and never delete a view.... And that wouldn't just be me. You know who you are!

Hey! I can delete views whenever I want, I just choose not to. LOL :p :D
 
Apologies to anyone who sneezes from me digging out this dusty old topic....

My current situation has me really using views for the first time and I'm wondering if there's a way to assign multiple topics at the same time. Kinda tedious doing it one at a time. TIA!
